A BAPI interface consists of simple, structure, return and table parameters, where:

SAPODA automatically maps the BAPI structure and table parameters to child
business objects, and BAPI simple parameters to the corresponding simple
attribures on WebSphere business objects for SAP as described in Table 8..
Table 8. Naming conventions: WebSphere business objects for SAP
Business object | BAPI interface |
---|---|
Top-level business object | BOprefix_BAPIname |
Child business object | BOprefix_BAPIParameterName |
Attribute | FieldDescription |
SAPODA guarantees that all attribute names in the business object definition are unique. If a BAPI has multiple parameters with the same field description, SAPODA adds a counter as the suffix to the generated attribute name.
When naming an attribute from a BAPI parameter, SAPODA prepends a string to the attribute name when the changed attribute name:
